Thanks for the great advice - exactly the kind I figured I would get

We are on the hunt this weekend for something. The tech guy at her school will be able to get her laptop to limp along for a little while, but a replacement is in the works.

My interest in Macs has to do with the reported durability. Is it really that good? or is it just the hype? It just doesn’t seem to be an honest business practice to sell a product that routinely causes problems, such as Windows/PC’s. Her laptop was a well-rated one and it has only lasted about 2 years and it isn’t even used that heavily.

So, with suggestions in hand, I will start my search.

Thanks again

Well, these days the Mac is assembled using many of the same parts from the same vendors as a PC. BUT, the software seems to be less problematic. So by that definition it’s more “durable” or perhaps “trouble free”.
